Thank you SO much for all the good thoughts. It isn't osteo, which is a huge relief. I wish everyone could get this kind of news when faced with this fear. There was no sign of osteo in the bones or arthritis in the joints. There is no swelling to indicate soft tissue injury. He has what appears to be a corn on his center toe, but he didn't flinch when I'd press on that toe. Nadir would kick like a mule if you fooled with the foot he had a corn on. Also he is limping on soft not just hard surfaces. The vet did a nerve block on the toe and while it did seem to improve a little he could still see that he wasn't wanting to put his weight on that foot.

The next step is taking him to the vet who figured out what Nadir's problem was in one appointment after two years of going' from vet to vet trying to get a diagnosis.

Could still be the corn, but I'll be interested to hear what vet #2 says!

What a relief! Hoping you can get to the bottom of the limping now.

For what it's worth, Turbo limped on both hard and soft surfaces with his corn, and his corn was often not even visible. Glad to hear it's not OSA :)
